In Short: Venturi protects every record you trust to us with top-of-the-line security and a strict privacy-by-design approach. Industry-grade encryption, audited infrastructure, and tight access controls safeguard your data at every layer.

1. Introduction

Venturi ("we," "our," or "the app") provides aircraft cost management, record-keeping, and forecasting tools for private pilots and aircraft co-owners. This Privacy Policy explains what information we handle, how we protect it, and the control you retain over your data.

2. Information We Handle

To deliver Venturi's core features, including cost splits, record organization, financial analysis, and forecasting, we process the information you choose to enter, which may include:

  • Aircraft details (tail numbers, make, model, ownership structure)
  • Flight, fuel, and maintenance records you log
  • Financial figures (hourly rates, reserves, invoices, contributions)
  • Account information (name, email) used to access your records securely
  • Documents you upload (receipts, invoices, inspection records)
  • Subscription status, if you purchase Premium (your plan, renewal date, and a Stripe customer reference)

You decide what to enter. Venturi does not collect ambient device data, location, contacts, or browsing history. If you purchase Premium, your card details are entered directly with our payment processor and are never seen or stored by Venturi.

3. How Your Data is Protected

Your information is safeguarded through multiple, independently verified layers:

  • Encryption in transit: All traffic is protected by TLS 1.3
  • Encryption at rest: Records are stored with AES-256 encryption
  • Access control: Strict role-based access internally and biometric protection on-device
  • Audited infrastructure: Hosted on providers with SOC 2 Type II certification
  • Continuous monitoring: Anomaly detection and ongoing security review

4. Privacy by Design

Venturi is built for owners who value discretion. We never sell your information, never use your records to train external models, and never share data with advertisers. The records you enter exist solely to serve you and the co-owners you explicitly invite into your account.

5. Third-Party Services

FAA Aircraft Registry: If you look up an aircraft by tail number, Venturi queries the public FAA Aircraft Registry to retrieve registration details. We do not retain a log of these lookups beyond what is necessary to populate your record.

Infrastructure providers: We host the app and store your encrypted records on vetted, security-certified cloud infrastructure providers who are contractually bound to handle data with the same standards we apply.

Payment processing (Stripe): If you subscribe to Premium, payments are handled by Stripe, our PCI-compliant payment processor. Stripe collects and stores your card details directly under its own privacy policy; Venturi receives only a customer reference, your plan, and your subscription status. We never receive or store your full card number.

6. Data Exports

Your data remains yours. Venturi lets you export any record, log, or financial summary to CSV or PDF on demand. Exports are generated and delivered through secure, encrypted channels.

7. Children's Privacy

Venturi is intended for licensed pilots and aircraft owners and is not designed for anyone under the age of 18.

8. Security Practices

The security of your data is enforced through multiple layers, both on your device and in our infrastructure:

  • Device-level protection via passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID
  • End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
  • Audited cloud infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II certification
  • Continuous security monitoring and anomaly detection

We recommend keeping your device locked and secured at all times.

9. Your Rights

You retain full control over the information in your account at all times:

  • Access, edit, or remove any record at any time
  • Export your complete dataset in a portable format
  • Permanently delete your account and the associated data
  • Request a written copy of our security practices on demand

10. Changes to This Policy

If we materially update how we handle data, we will revise this Privacy Policy and notify account holders in advance. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
